The kelpie's ears flick at the first creak, and then go back as he tries to work out just...what these possibly grown-ass adult humans were doing. Why were they on a playground? They were basically yelling nonsense at each other, what--

He's too distracted watching them to notice the arc of the sailing paperweighted balloon dick, and it lands with a splash in the thick reeds. Right next to his ear. Envy normally doesn't spook as easily as your average horse, but in his current half-disoriented state, that's plenty to send him surging up out of the water with a whinny, and out onto the muddy grass on the bank.

He's a pretty sorry sight, even aside from being draped in reeds and dripping with pond water. He's clearly underfed: his ribs are visible, and scrapes and scratches both older and newer stand out against his black coat. A well-made, but stained leather bridle is ripped and hanging half off his face. Envy stares at the two. They're really too big for him to drag effectively, but he can't go back in the water to hide now. He sloowly straightens himself up.

Look what a pretty horse I am. Come over here and pet me it's a great idea.
